Katy ISD schools to reopen Sept. 11

Campuses in the Katy Independent School District are expected to remain closed until Monday, Sept. 11. Staff members are asked to return to their schools or offices on Wednesday, Sept. 6 providing it is safe to commute there, school district officials said.

Sue Creech Elementary School, 5905 S. Mason and Rodger and Ellen Beck Junior High School, 5200 S. Fry, are the only schools in Katy ISD that sustained severe water damage in the flooding. Both will require "significant amount of time to repair and restore," district officials said.

Katy ISD officials said 14 campuses in the district are in neighborhoods that were directly impacted by the floods brought on by Hurricane Harvey. But, the school buildings themselves are intact.

"There is a tremendous amount of work ahead for Katy ISD over the coming days, weeks and months as the district prepares to welcome back students and restore facilities and structures impacted by the storm," officials said.
